TRAINING
RAINING
TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT
The Fibre-Optics Educator can transmit analogue or digital
digi
data over free-space or optical fibres. With low-cost
low
plastic
fibre, transmission distances over 100 metres are possible.
The normal advantages of a fibre-optics
optics link over a
conventional electrical system may be obtained with the
Educator, for example:
immunity to electrical interference
complete electrical isolation
secure transmission, with no radiated waves from the
cable
no earth loops
TTL, CMOS, and RS232 voltage interfaces are available at
the transmitter and receiver, and the system operates at didi
gital rates from DC to 20kBit/s. A buzzer may also be
switched into the digital circuit to give an audible indication
of the output.
The following diagrams show the functions of the Educator transmitter and receiver units in simplified form:
